London, UK, 12 July 2010 – NTT Europe, an ICT solutions partner and subsidiary of NTT Communications (NTT Com), today announces its web hosting services have been officially verified by IRM Plc as being compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
The verification of PCI DSS compliance complements NTT Europe’s ISO27001 certification for information security management, further reassuring existing and potential customers of NTT Europe’s commitment to the security and confidentiality of sensitive data. NTT Europe intends to provide further security consultation services around PCI to customers following NTT Com’s recent acquisition of group company Integralis.

In order to gain compliance, NTT Europe has undergone a comprehensive audit of the hardware, software, network architecture, information management policies and other critical security measures that are used within its data centres.
